These swapped logos, illustrated by Fabio Di Corleto, are sure to throw you off. The Italian artist swapped the names, fonts and decals of some of the most well-known social media sites in these images.

Imagine if the iconic, chromed [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/find-your-doodle) letters that appear on the search engine's home-page were actually used for Facebook? Fabio did a great job picking which logos would work best with others. He swapped the text of long-form video website Vimeo and short-form video app Vine; I was so used to the look of the logos, I had to do a double-take to notice the difference.

He also used the infamous blue background and white text that is usually Facebook's branding and turned it into "google+." The swap actually looks quite appealing. Other social media sites used includes [MySpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noplace-app), Skype, [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-blue-1), and many more.
